Default using Facebook in my app ...?

Hello !

Is there a way in an app to publish a text in user's facebook account ?

The user just tap a button, and the app open facebook app with a text in profile update...

Thanks for help !

you can use, on the handleFunction of your button tap, the service call to the application manager to open the facebook app. You'd have to do some digging within the facebook app as well to see whether or not that's even supported. Hope this helps.

Facebook has an API you can use to perform a lot of user functions. I've only skimmed it, but it would probably be better to use than opening the facebook app.

You should look into the graph API. It gives a quick and easy way to read and publish data to a Facebook account. You'll need to learn how to handle Oauth2 authentication.

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/

http://graph.facebook.com

There is a Javascript SDK. I don't think that will work directly with a Mojo app since it requires browser plugins. However, looking through it could give you some clues as to how things work.

You should also check out the Facebook dev forum.

},
onFailure: function(response) {
